Nick Pepitone, a Green Wave reliever, is the only regular pitcher on the USA Baseball Collegiate team who hasn't allowed a run. Only one other player on the team - Matt Newman - can say the same, he has only pitched one inning.

Pepitone has struck out 10, walked five and allowed two hits in 13 2/3 innings in seven appearances.

The squad, which is coached by Tulane's Rick Jones, just got back from a trip to Japan to play in the Enbridge Northern Pipeline World Baseball Challenge in Canada. USA (14-4) defeated Canada 5-2 to start the tournament. Pepitone pitched two innings in the victory, giving up one hit and striking out one.

Pepitone made USA baseball history by being a part of a combined no-hitter in early July. USA takes on Germany tonight in the Challenge.
